Rene Rofe's Quarter Net Crochet Bodystocking was a seemingly attractive option for the bedroom. It offers gorgeous detailed stitching (that's not your everyday fishnet or sheer pattern), a crotchless easy-access get-down-and-dirty panel, and so-called one-size-fits all sizing.

Now that last thing is what ends up being the problem. You see, one size fits all usually means "one size fits the model", and not "one size fits the girlfriend". This ends up being a problem, mostly because my girlfriend can't wear this comfortably but also because my girlfriend is not a model.

Having said that, the detailing in this is adorable. While it has areas where it doesn't fit well (somewhat loose chest area, really tight butt area), overall it fits well heightwise. Despite the fit issues she still manages to feel and look sexy in it, so perhaps my slightly angry introduction isn't proper. Having said that I still contend that one size fits all certainly does not fit all.

Another issue with it is the packaging. The outside is plenty okay, as it features the model's front and back (on the packaging's front and back, respectively) sealed in one of those smooth, thin, resealable plastic bags. Open that and you get the bodystocking. Here's the issue. Some of it is just bunched up behind this cardboard insert, but a select panel of it has been butchered by the panel, that is, stretched over it. This isn't a problem until you unpack everything and realize that the panel that has been stretched stays relatively stretchy so when it's worn there's just this quite-awkward sag panel on her back. (I wish I could take pictures but she'd disapprove and it's hard to illustrate without a proper model).

So with all of these in mind, I award the Rene Rofe Quarter Net Crochet Bodystocking three stars. It's managed to make her look pretty hot, I'll give them that. It's also managed to make some key mistakes that set their product back somewhat. And that, like the product, is somewhat okay.





I'd also like to mention that this pattern is different from the pattern on the thigh highs. As with most lingerie, hand wash if at all possible (as it is quite delicate) or, if you're machine washing it, keep it in a lingerie wash bag and run light cycles if possible.
